Hello all,
I am trying to run trace and can't seem to get the syntax correct.
It says usage: trace cmd machines
               cmd "on filename" off
I type trace "on t.log" my.pc.i486     and it starts scrolling across
the screen that 'my.pc.i486: host name lookup failure'. I'm confused
what does it mean by machines? my.pc.i486 is what I named my machine
when I installed FreeBSD.
